INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The aim of this clinical study is to assess the effectiveness of simulation-based arterial blood pressure training provided to undergraduate students in physical therapy and rehabilitation. The main questions it aims to address are as follows: \- Does simulation-based arterial blood pressure training affect the knowledge, skills, clinical competence, satisfaction, and self-confidence of undergraduate physical therapy and rehabilitation students? To examine the effects of simulation-based arterial blood pressure training-in which students engage in hands-on practice-on theoretical knowledge, psychomotor skills, practitioner competence, satisfaction, and self-confidence, one control group will participate in the study. Participants will: * All participants will receive standard theoretical training on blood pressure measurement and observe a practical demonstration. * The intervention group will additionally perform blood pressure measurements on a simulator under the supervision of an instructor. * Assessments will be conducted at the beginning of the study and 21 days later.

Interventions
After participating in a standard theoretical and practical training session that demonstrated the step-by-step process of measuring arterial blood pressure using a simulator, the participants practiced individually on the simulator under the instructor's supervision.
